    A source, approaching with speed $u$ towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length $L$, is emitting a sound of frequency $f_5$. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is $v$ and $f_0$ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination(s) of $u$ and $f_5$, will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?

    $(A)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=f_0$
